The VSG is blended exclusively for Ashton by Carlos Fuente Jr. using 4 to 5 year old aged Dominican tobacco taken from the finest and most fertile plants. The flavor of the VSG comes from its wrapper grown in Ecuador this proprietary wrapper leaf is grown for the Fuente Family exclusively for Ashton VSG. The leaf is taken from the higher primings and matures slowly by sunlight filtered through the regionšs natural cloud covering. The result is the rich delicious wrapper which has made the Ashton VSG the most in demand cigar on the market today. This is a full bodied cigar.
